Re: Should teachers in the US be armed?

Those teachers who wish to be armed, and who go through training in tactics, etc, absolutely should be able to be armed.

Or, if a school district prefers, and can afford it, armed guards should be hired and stationed at or near access points to the school.

The silly notion that "we should not have to have armed guards at school" is simply ludicrous.

If we have armed guards at every OTHER location where "precious" items are located (banks, museums, sporting events ?) how silly is it to NOT have armed guards protecting our CHILDREN, for crying out loud?

I believe no need to arm the teachers. enhancing the school security and modifying the school rule about harassment and bullying are the best solutions for the problem.

Re: Should teachers in the US be armed?

Do you agree with President Trump that teachers to be armed with pistols or rifles to protect themselves against any crazy trigger happy individuals?

I don't agree with your op actually

Trump did not say he wants teachers to be armed

what he actually did say, was that not everyone can handle a firearm but specific people who can might be able to do so..which would mean a person does not have the usual 10 minutes to kill as many as they can

ideas are being suggested and solutions are being sought

only a dimwit would say give everyone a gun and let them start shooting

Re: Should teachers in the US be armed?

But that isn't how you worded it. You need to write clearer. I'm listening to him speak on the issue at CPAC this very moment.

what I said to the above:

Trump did not say he wants teachers to be armed

what he actually did say, was that not everyone can handle a firearm but specific people who can might be able to do so..which would mean a person does not have the usual 10 minutes to kill as many as they can

so tiresome

on and on nitpicking and quibbling just never stops with so many on this forum...if someone leaves out a comma they are not saved
